King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 41: Chapter 39: Deadly Allure

Shi Feiyang already regretted it deeply, but everything was already beyond redemption, it was too late.

His life was fading away at an astonishing speed.

Soon, Shi Feiyang felt his consciousness gradually becoming blurred, as if he was about to fall into an endless abyss of darkness.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang understood that some mistakes, once committed, can never be undone.

However, the reality was cruel, and Shi Feiyang could only helplessly accept everything, allowing his life to slowly slip away.

Hehe! Liu Tingting chuckled lightly, her voice as gentle and delicate as a spring breeze, her eyes revealing endless allure.

But all the malice and cruelty in her heart were hidden within her charm, making one inadvertently feel a chill.

The sound of the qin abruptly stopped.

Liu Tingting elegantly waved her hand, issuing a shocking order—to bury Shi Feiyang alive.

How vicious! Such a celestial beauty could give such a malicious order, truly surprising!

”As you command!” The maids acted upon the order, swiftly dragging Shi Feiyang to the edge of the pre-dug pit, about to push Shi Feiyang into that dark abyss. Swoosh swoosh! Gong Simeng suddenly made their move, scattering a handful of golden needles like a celestial maiden scattering flowers toward Liu Tingting, Gong Ci’en, Gong Yao’en, and others.

No matter what, Gong Simeng was determined to save Shi Feiyang today.

Perhaps after witnessing Shi Feiyang’s repeated bloody battles against the villains of Snow Eagle Castle, Gong Simeng had come to admire this highly skilled and wise handsome young man. At this moment, Gong Simeng had an urge to go all out, wanting to protect Shi Feiyang.

Even if it meant dying herself, she was determined to protect Shi Feiyang.

Gong Simeng’s mind turned sharply, her actions as swift as lightning; the thrown golden needles traced golden trajectories in the air, striking the acupoints on Liu Tingting and others with accuracy, rendering them motionless like puppets.

Seizing the opportunity, Gong Simeng rushed forward, pulling Shi Feiyang back from the edge of the pit, tightly protecting Shi Feiyang by her side.

”Humph! Gong Simeng, you are bold indeed, daring to ruin my plans!” Liu Tingting glared angrily, her eyes flashing with fierce light.

However, due to her acupoints being hit, she could only stand still, unable to move.

Gong Simeng coldly gazed at Liu Tingting, scolding, ”Liu Tingting, your evil deeds are numerous; today is your end!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Tingting’s face changed drastically, truly fearing that Gong Simeng would kill her at that moment.

However, Liu Tingting did not want to surrender, so she forced herself to remain calm, sneering, ”Gong Simeng, do you think you can save Shi Feiyang? Let me tell you, today, none of you will be able to leave!”

As she spoke, Liu Tingting’s figure suddenly shook, actually forcibly breaking through the acupoints.

Her figure, like a ghost, quickly rushed toward Gong Simeng and Shi Feiyang.

Seeing the situation, Gong Simeng immediately threw a handful of golden needles, shooting them toward Liu Tingting.

In an instant, the golden needles and Liu Tingting’s palm wind intertwined, producing crackling sounds.

Liu Tingting hurriedly waved her sleeves, knocking down those golden needles.

Meanwhile, Gong Simeng took the opportunity to lift Shi Feiyang and swiftly leave this dangerous place.

Liu Tingting’s face changed drastically, regretting in her heart that Shi Feiyang was rescued at the critical moment, wondering how she would explain to her mother.

However, she also forced herself to remain calm, going over to release the acupoints of Gong Ci’en, Gong Yao’en, and others, leading the disciples and numerous maids, using the Lightweight Technique to pursue Gong Simeng and Shi Feiyang.

Meanwhile, Gong Simeng took the opportunity to hold Shi Feiyang and swiftly leave this dangerous place.

Although Liu Tingting was extremely angry inside, she also forced herself to remain calm.

She, along with Gong Ci’en and Gong Yao’en, led the disciples and numerous maids, using the Lightweight Technique to pursue Gong Simeng and Shi Feiyang.

On Gong Simeng’s shoulder stood a clever monkey, while in her arms she tightly held Shi Feiyang.

Due to the additional burden, Gong Simeng’s flight speed was inevitably restricted.

Behind Gong Simeng, Liu Tingting and the other pursuers were rapidly closing in, almost catching up to them.

Gong Simeng’s heart was filled with anxiety, and she desperately needed to find a solution, hoping to discover a place where she could hide.

Her eyes scanned the surroundings and suddenly noticed a dense forest ahead.

The lush foliage of the forest resembled a green ocean and seemed like an ideal hiding place.

The top priority now was to treat Shi Feiyang.

Gong Simeng quickly adjusted her flight trajectory, carrying Shi Feiyang towards the forest.

She skillfully weaved through the trees, using the tall trees as cover, trying to minimize her presence to evade Liu Tingting and the others’ pursuit. At the same time, she didn’t forget to soothe the monkey on her shoulder and Shi Feiyang in her arms, whispering softly to keep silent and avoid making any noises that might draw attention.

The chirping of birds in the forest was sporadic, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquil woods while also heightening Gong Simeng’s vigilance.

She proceeded cautiously through the forest, each step landing lightly on fallen leaves to avoid making any sound.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze rustled the surrounding branches and leaves, creating a rustling sound.

Gong Simeng’s heart tightened; she immediately halted, holding her breath and quietly listening to her surroundings.

After a while, the wind subsided, and silence once again enveloped the area.

Gong Simeng finally exhaled in relief and continued to cautiously venture deeper into the forest.

Shi Feiyang was in a deep coma, but fortunately, the extraordinary bloodline granted by the Sunflower Saintess and the Bright Jade Technique he mastered were fiercely battling the toxins within him, temporarily keeping him alive.

Gong Simeng silently prayed in her heart, hoping Shi Feiyang could hold on until they found a safe place to detoxify and heal him.

After running for a while, Gong Simeng set Shi Feiyang down and found that his entire body had turned black and emitted a foul odor.

”Alas!” Gong Simeng sighed deeply, her eyes filled with shock and concern.

She extended her hand to support Shi Feiyang, but as if remembering something, she quickly withdrew it, a complex expression flashing across her eyes.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify.

After contemplating for a moment, Gong Simeng bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind. She took out a pill from her sleeve and swiftly placed it into Shi Feiyang’s mouth. The pill dissolved instantly, and a warm current rose within Shi Feiyang, gradually alleviating the excruciating pain, and the black sweat stopped dripping. Shi Feiyang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shifting from confusion to clarity, looking at Gong Simeng with bewilderment and anger.

Moments later, Shi Feiyang’s voice was hoarse, with a tone that still held some vigilance, surprisingly asking, ”Gong Simeng? You?! Why did you save me? Is it worth it?”

Gong Simeng sighed softly, her gaze gentle yet resolute, and replied, ”Even though we stand on different sides, your sincerity, kindness to the people, and eradication of villains have brought peace to the hundreds of miles around Eagle Beak Rock. Therefore, I do not wish to see you innocently perish. The Kunqian Holy Water of Divine Water Palace has a nice name, but it is extremely poisonous and perilous. Had I not intervened in time, you would have long been dead. Also, fortunately, your inner power is profound, and the True Qi within you could counteract the poison.”

After hearing this, a complex emotion welled up within Shi Feiyang—both the relief of surviving and confusion regarding his feelings for Gong Simeng.

He struggled to stand up, gazing at Gong Simeng with eyes filled with gratitude and indescribable emotions, and worriedly said, ”Miss Gong, you’ve made an enemy of Divine Water Palace. This is not a good outcome for you. Alas!”

Shi Feiyang hesitated, seemingly having much to say but unsure where to begin.

Gong Simeng gently shook her head, interrupting him, and said, ”Let bygones be bygones. Perhaps our fates are at an end. I only wish that from now on, you do not set foot in the Liaodong area again; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Shi Feiyang nodded in understanding but inwardly disagreed. He had been tormented by Divine Water Palace’s people to this extent, nearly losing his life; he would certainly seek revenge in the future, as per the Heroic Sakura Association’s rule of returning both kindness and vengeance.

Shi Feiyang laboriously stood up, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands to begin meditating and breathing exercises to expel the poison within. Shortly after, he was drenched in sweat, with his clothes stained black by the toxins.

Once he had expelled the toxins, Shi Feiyang opened his eyes, filled with determination and gratitude.

He looked at Gong Simeng again and, with a slightly hoarse voice, said, ”Words cannot express my gratitude, Miss Gong. Your kindness, I, Shi Feiyang, will remember it deeply. From now on, if you need anything, I, Shi Feiyang, will go through fire or water to help.”

Gong Simeng smiled slightly, a hint of unnoticeable tenderness in her eyes, and said, ”Shi Feiyang, there’s no need for that. I saved you not for repayment. I only hope you continue to uphold justice and work for the people’s welfare. Although we stand on different sides, our commitment to justice is the same.” Hearing this, a warmth welled up in Shi Feiyang’s heart.

He stood up, cupped his hands, and said, ”Miss Gong, I will remember your words. From now on, I, Shi Feiyang, will work even harder to eradicate evil and protect the peace of the people.”
